This week on Atalanta, we’re joined by Hannah Taylor — HYROX athlete, coach at RMR and LSKD athlete.
Hannah shares her journey into HYROX, from signing up for her first race with just a month to prepare to qualifying for Worlds and building a career around the sport. We chat about coaching, growing a HYROX community, balancing training with recovery and why taking a proper rest day can make such a difference.
We also get into Hannah’s recent 55km ultra, her racing goals for the season and the realities of fuelling for performance as a female athlete. Hannah opens up about under-fuelling, the impact it had on her performance and hormones, and why you don’t need to look a certain way to be a competitive athlete.
Plus, we talk all things LSKD, getting out of your comfort zone and making sure you have fun along the way.
What we cover:
